Title: Frequency re-used for point to multipoint applications
Inventor: FOSTER ROBERT B JR
IPC: H04W16/24
Filed: 2002-06-24
Abstract: The inventive cellular reuse plan uses a tessellating grouping of cells to form a pattern, which is then repeated to form a larger cell cluster. The mosaic pattern uses several different cell types. Each cell type preferably comprises a different set of channel assignments. The channels are preferably provided additional orthogonality, such as through the use of polarization, where channel assignments within a cell are grouped to provide adjacent sectors, as a block, with primary communication links using commonly polarized channels. The different cell types (403, 404, 405) are then arranged in the mosaic pattern (Fig.4A). Each particular cell (400a-402a) in the pattern has adjoining cells that are of a different type than the particular cell. The most preferred embodiment cell pattern does not utilize available channels to thereby provide reserve channels for use in providing redundant links and/or added capacity. Preferably, each of the reserve channels provides redundant communication links to a block of commonly polarized primary channels.

Title: Higher plant cytosolic er-based glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase genes
Inventor: ZOU JITAO
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase is the initial enzyme of the glycerolipid biosynthetic pathway. Biochemical analyses indicated that the reaction mediated by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase represents a potential rate-limiting step for the synthesis of phospholipids and storage neutralipid, triacylglycerol. The present invention relates to the cloning of genes encoding extraplastidic membrane-bound glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases.  Heterologous expression of the genes, GPAT1, GPAT2, and GPAT3 in a yeast glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase mutant demonstrated that the encoded products could efficiently utilize glycerol-3-phosphate to mediate sn-1 stereo-specific fatty acid acylation. The invention encompasses the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase peptides disclosed and fragments and homologues thereof, the corresponding gene sequences and fragments and homologues thereof, as well as the use of the peptide and gene sequences of the present invention for use in generating recombinant proteins, and transgenic plants with altered lipid metabolism. In this way, the present invention also encompasses the use of such recombinant peptides and transgenic plants for the production of lipid products for use, for example, in pharmaceutical and nutritional applications.

Abstract: An automated computer based payment system and method allows a variety of different payment requesting sources to be coupled to a variety of payment processors. An integrated payment engine receives payment requests from the payment requesting sources and generates therefrom payment instructions that are delivered to the payment processors. The integrated payment engine employs profile information defining payment requesting source and payment processor preferences and requirements to generate the payment instructions from the payment requests. Additional and/or different payment requesting sources and payment processors can be integrated into the system easily by modifying the profile information. The integrated payment engine also employs flexible risk and operational preferences to generate automatically a payment instruction which will implement the payment request so as to optimize a balance of factors associated with making a payment, such as risk and cost.
